UMG wants Drake’s defamation lawsuit thrown out of court.

The record label filed a petition for dismissal today, arguing Drake is only suing them for artificially inflating Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” because he lost his battle with Kendrick.

Drake’s legal team responded in a statement.

“UMG wants to pretend that this is about a rap battle in order to distract its shareholders, artists and the public from a simple truth: a greedy company is finally being held responsible for profiting from dangerous misinformation that has already resulted in multiple acts of violence,” Drake’s lawyer told Variety. “This motion is a desperate ploy by UMG to avoid accountability, but we have every confidence that this case will proceed and continue to uncover UMG’s long history of endangering, abusing and taking advantage of its artists.”

Assuming the judge doesn’t dismiss the suit, there will be a pre-trial conference on April 2.
